Fixes

  • Resolved the issue of plotHighlightEffect attribute resetting all the dataset-level attributes when series were shown/hidden using legends.
  • Fixed the issue of resizeTo method not working when the chart was rendered using XML data format.
  • Fixed the issue where charts were not exported on iPad with Safari browser.
  • Fixed the issue where taskbar drags position update event dataplotdragmove was printing duplicate values in Gantt charts.
  • Resolved the issue when the tooltip was not visible on the delayed part of taskbars in Gantt charts.
  • Resolved the visual bug with data labels and their background when transposeAxis was enabled for multi-series bar charts. Improved the visual clarity of Multi-series Bar charts by addressing transposeAxis attribute bug.
  • Resolved an issue where inline styles used for Pie chart watermarks and tooltips triggered CSP errors, potentially hindering chart display.
  • Fixed the bug where the scroll bar position was getting reset to the initial position, when setChartData is used to update the chart’s data.
  • Handled the case of negative values for radial bar in Radial Bar charts. For negative values, the radial bar will stick to the 0 position.
  • Fixed the issue where React FusionCharts wrapper was not working in strict mode. In react wrapper, if the chart is already rendered then the dispose method is used to delete the instance to avoid render callback in loop.
  • Resolved the issue where data values were not visible for plots in the Bar2D chart when the bar width value was very low.
  • Optimized user experience with Gauge charts through seamless resizing.
